Mercedes-Benz GL-Class

BASE PRICE RANGE: $61,825-$85,325 BODY TYPE: Full-size/Luxury SUV

WHAT'S NEW: There are only minor changes for 2011. The 382-hp GL550 gains a restyled front bumper. All models get a rearview mirror with integrated compass, what the company refers to as saddle-style second- and third-row head restraints, and the option of blind-spot assist. Another new option is the next generation of telematics, called mbrace, which includes safety and convenience features.
